"We found that TAC-induced onset and progression of cardiac dysfunction towards heart failure were dramatically worsened by CR-CYLD overexpression independent of gender differences ( xref and xref – xref ), demonstrating a mediator role of CYLD in PO-induced cardiomyopathy and heart failure."

"CYLD may also control the substrate access to mTORC1 without affecting mTORC1 activation because CR-CYLD overexpression had minimal impact on TAC-induced phosphorylation of Unc 51-like autophagy activating kinase 1 (ULK1) at Serine (S) 757 ( xref ), which is phosphorylated by mTORC1 thus suppressing autophagy induction [ xref ]."

"In addition, CR-CYLD overexpression led to increased accumulation of autophagic vacuoles with undegraded contents without affecting the total number of autophagic vacuoles ( xref ), suggesting that CYLD could suppress autophagic degradation without affecting autophagosome or autolysosome formation."

"Indeed, CR-CYLD overexpression increased the steady protein level of LC3-II, an autophagosome marker in PO hearts and enhanced PO-induced accumulation of p62, an autophagy adaptor protein while dramatically suppressing autophagic flux, a more accurate measure of autophagy function [ xref ] in PO hearts ( xref and xref ), indicating a negative impact of CYLD on cardiac autophagy."

"As expected, CR-CYLD overexpression decreased both soluble and insoluble Ub-Ps marked by K63-linked Ub chains with molecular weights larger than 75 kDa in both sham-operated and PO-hearts ( xref ), revealing that CYLD DUB activity is specific for a group of K63-linked ubiquitinated proteins with molecular weights larger than 75 kDa in the heart."

"Indeed, more detailed assessments of mTORC1 signaling revealed that 2-week TAC-induced phosphorylation of p70S6K was selectively blocked by CR-CYLD overexpression associated with upregulated protein levels of lysosomal-associated membrane protein 1 (Lamp1), Lamp2 and Rab7 in the heart ( xref and xref )."

"Transmission electron microscopy revealed that TAC-induced accumulation of autophagic vacuoles with undegraded contents was decreased by CR-ATG7 overexpression but increased by CR-CYLD overexpression; and surprisingly, the increases in autophagic vacuoles with undegraded contents due to CR-CYLD overexpression were exaggerated by additional CR-ATG7 overexpression in the hearts ( xref )."

"These results indicate that in PO-hearts, CR-ATG7 overexpression enhances autophagosome formation, fusion with lysosomes, and autolysosomal degradation (autolysosome efflux); however, CR-CYLD overexpression does not affect autophagosome formation and fusion with lysosomes but suppresses autolysosome efflux."
